Perturbations of minimizing movements and curves of maximal slope
Via della Ricerca Scientifica 1, Rome, 00133, Italy |
We modify the De Giorgi's minimizing movements scheme for a functional $φ$, by perturbing the dissipation term, and find a condition on the perturbations which ensures the convergence of the scheme to an absolutely continuous perturbed minimizing movement. The perturbations produce a variation of the metric derivative of the minimizing movement. This process is formalized by the introduction of the notion of curve of maximal slope for $φ$ with a given rate. We show that if we relax the condition on the perturbations we may have many different meaningful effects; in particular, some perturbed minimizing movements may explore different potential wells.
Keywords:
Minimizing movements,

The graphs represent two discrete solutions for the same value of $\tau$ , corresponding respectively to perturbations as in (25) and (26). Note the discontinuous behavior on the left, while on the right jumps are going to disappear
Figure 4.
On the left the time chart of $u^\tau$ , on the right the plot of $\phi(u^\tau)$ , corresponding to perturbations with $\delta = 1$ . Note how the motion exits from the lower energy state when $t = 1$
